For housebreaking all you need is a crate, pencil and paper, and patience.

You need to understand how your dog's bodily functions work to be more quickly successful.

Puppies go to the bathroom on a schedule, it not just a random thing. Their bodies automatically eliminate whenever the gastrocolic reflex is triggered. Stretching of the stomach when the little ones eat triggers the reflex. As puppies get older they are able to overide the reflex and control when they eliminate.

Somewhere between 5 mins-1 hr after eating is when pups will go to the bathroom. About 5-10 mins BEFORE you know it probably has to go (start with 15 min- 30 minutes after eating) take the pup outside and say "go potty right as it starts to go. When your dog eliminates give it praise: tell it "good potty!!!"

Each dog's body is different so it may take you a few observations and trial and errors to get more precise. Now get out the paper and pencil to make a chart and enter time fed/time of elimination (both pee & poops). Soon you will know your puppy's bathroom schedules.
